Know someone who just got a new Windows PC, or may be getting one for the holidays? Help them load it up with awesome software. This year, give your Windows-using friends the gift of one of these great programs.

This year, we're moving our suggestions to the discussion below to create one awesome gift guide with you guys. If you have a suggestion to add, just follow these guidelines:

Follow this format for your vote, including the bold print:

A SCREENSHOT OR LOGO OF YOUR APP[preferably at 970x546]

NAME OF THE APP (PRICE)

Why: Explain why you think this particular app [or gadget] makes a great gift. Is it a must-have item that everyone should use? Is it something you know people want, but probably won't buy for themselves? Is it just something you really dig?

Don't duplicate nominations! Instead, if someone's already mentioned your pick, star (recommend) it to give it a boost, and reply with your story instead.

If you're not sure what we mean, just check out the nominations by our writers below. We'll give you a head start, and they should all be in the proper format, so you can just follow our lead.
